The news was received here last night
that more trouble was brewing In
Moorehesd, the scene Of the recent Toll
liver outrsges. The report says: THAT
eighteen men armed with Winchesters
came from Solyer's station, on the
Columbus s. Ohio road, to Moore
head. There are or will be
one hundred and fifty armed men
secreted around the town. These men,
1t seems, belong to the Logan faction
and are gathering because news has
been brought that party Of TolliVer's
friends intended to come from Elliott
county and burn the town. Boone
Logan is in Moorehesd and it was he
who ordered the assembling Of the men.
1t Is certain that messengers sent
t1 bring in more men are on the train
at MOOrehead today, and that Allie W,
Young boarded the train at Mt. Sterling
this morning and went to MoOrehead
Everybody feels that there is trouble
OF the very worst sort ahead. Judge
Dehazen will hold special term Of
court at MOorehead some time this
month for the trial of Harris, alias
Pendulum" for conspiracy to murder
Judge Cole and Taylor Young.
